 1 

Lo, the conflict of the ages

Is upon us today,

And the forces of rebellion

Are in total array.

The humanity of Jesus

Now the saints must possess,

His true image and dominion

On the earth to express.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

Must the church now display.

 
 2 

Lo, how Satan came to damage

Human life on the earth;

But the Lord in all this ruin

Raised a man full of worth!

From the seed of the woman

God incarnated became

The man Jesus — the last Adam —

To destroy Satan's aim!

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

Must the church now display.

 
 3 

It's by calling, drinking, eating

The man Jesus today,

His humanity enjoying

Bruises Satan each day.

To the Lord we must be turning,

All our soul life deny,

To destroy all Satan's working

And the new man supply.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

Must the church now display.

 
 4 

See the ruin of a nation

Going downward in sin;

All humanity is fallen

And corrupted within.

But as children of the kingdom

We are salting the earth;

His humanity preserves us

In the midst of such dearth.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

Must the church now display.
